What is the chance of visiting a page that has a certificate that has expired nine minutes ago? :)

WordPress Error: “Cannot modify header information – headers already sent”

with 3 comments

There was important security update of WordPress recently. In upgrade instructions it is suggested to delete old files on the server, and then upload new files, and I did as they suggested.

A few days ago I wanted to upload an image and got this error message.

The uploaded file could not be moved to [...]/wp-content/uploads/[...].
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at [...]/wp-admin/admin-functions.php:1879) in [...]/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1219

WordPress

94

I searched for that error message, but did not find anything useful. I looked at source files mentioned, but I am not very familiar with PHP, so no luck there too.

Then I remembered that I had problems previously after upgrading because WordPress did not have permission to write to upload folder. I checked it and yes, that was the problem. I fixed permissions and upload worked again.

I am just surprised how error message did not say that WordPress does not have permission to write to a folder, but something about headers. I thought that not having permission is one of the common scenarios.
